Undying Love Read online

  He sat back, satisfaction and triumph in every line of his body. ‘It gives me three months with you I wouldn’t otherwise have had.’ He smiled at her puzzled frown. ‘Making you—as editor,’ he taunted. ‘Part of the deal, makes you feel obliged to at least work your notice. I’m sure Henry has explained to you the pitfalls of leaving a job without references. Also it could affect the rest of the deal I have with him if you leave now. But I’m sure you know all this, otherwise you would already be walking. Wouldn’t you?’ he prompted confidently.

  ‘Very clever, Mr Dalmont,’ she said tautly.

  His mouth quirked. ‘Why do I get the impression that was an insult?’

  Green eyes clashed with black. ‘Because you’re a very astute man, Mr Dalmont!’

  He laughed softly. ‘And you’re a fascinating woman, Shanna,’ he said without rancour. ‘And the name is Rick. I told you, I like all senior members of staff to use it.’

  She eyed him sceptically. ‘Those poor people you assured you would make no changes to Fashion Lady?’ she derided hardly.

  His mouth tightened. ‘You doubt my word?’

  Shanna gave him a considering look. ‘Not at all. I’m sure that “as little change in the format as you can” will mean exactly that, as little change as you can accept until you have the magazine exactly as you want it!’

  His brows rose in silent appreciation of her deduction, as if he hadn’t expected her to be that intelligent.

  She sighed. ‘I grew up in the world of business, Mr—Rick,’ she amended reluctantly. ‘My father built up his empire during my childhood, and because my mother died years ago he used to discuss his business with Henry and me.’

  ‘The Stock Exchange for breakfast, hmm?’

  ‘Yes,’ she nodded.

  ‘Sounds similar to my own childhood.’

  She recoiled from any similarity between herself and this man, regretting telling him even the little she had. ‘I doubt it,’ she derided. ‘We were rich, but not that rich.’

  His eyes darkened at the barb, although luckily the arrival of their lunch prevented the biting reply he had looked about to make. ‘Let’s just enjoy the meal,’ he suggested once their food had been served. ‘I don’t like to argue while I eat.’

  ‘I can’t argue with you, I work for you.’

  His hand grasped hers as it lay on the table-top. ‘At least give me a chance to be pleasant to you. I can assure you I don’t usually get as ruthless with women as I have been with you.’

  Shanna purposefully disengaged her hand from his. ‘As you said, let’s eat.’

  He gave an impatient sigh, but as he picked up his cutlery she knew they were to at least eat in peace.

  ‘What do you think of Jane for my replacement?’ she asked as they drank their coffee, having decided it was time for the ‘business’ discussion he had asked for.

  Rick frowned, giving the idea some thought. ‘No,’ finally came his blunt answer.

  She held back her sharp retort with effort. When she had taken over Fashion Lady a year ago Henry had more or less given her complete control, to do what she felt best for the magazine, to make what decisions she felt were necessary, and without being conceited she knew that the majority of them had been the right decisions. For her to have consulted Rick Dalmont at all just now had been hard enough, to have him turn down her suggestion so emphatically was a damned insult.

  ‘Why not?’ she snapped in challenge.

  He shrugged. ‘I want someone with a new approach, not a staff member who still has her loyalties to you and the new projects you started.’

  ‘Then you agree I’ve given Fashion Lady some input?’ Her sarcasm was barely contained.

  Rick raised dark brows at her vehemence. ‘It’s good to see that something can fire your interest.’

  ‘Plenty of things do that, Mr Dalmont!’

  ‘But not me?’

  ‘No, not you! Now about Jane—’

  ‘I said no,’ he rasped.

  ‘And that’s the last that will be said on the subject?’ she scorned.

  ‘Yes!’

  She drew in a deep controlling breath. ‘Very well,’ her tone was once again cold and remote, ‘I’ll see about advertising for a replacement.’

  ‘It was your decision to leave, Shanna,’ he reminded softly.

  ‘And I don’t regret it for a moment!’ She stood up. ‘If you’ll excuse me, my lunch-hour was over long ago.’

  Rick stood up too, putting some money down on the table to cover the bill. ‘I didn’t think you had noticed,’ he taunted, his hand firm on her elbow as they left the restaurant together.

  ‘I noticed,’ she derided. ‘But it’s your time…’

  ‘In that case,’ his mouth tightened, ‘I’d like you to spend the afternoon with me at my hotel, discussing business, of course.’

  ‘Of course,’ she said dryly. ‘I have too much to do at the office, Mr Dalmont,’ she refused.

  ‘Some other time, eh?’ he mocked.

  ‘I doubt it.’

  ‘So do I,’ he grinned, suddenly looking younger. ‘I wish you would reconsider your decision to leave, Shanna. With a few changes, and your dedication,’ he taunted, ‘Fashion Lady could become the top women’s magazine in the country.’

  ‘I doubt I would like your changes, Mr Dalmont.’

  ‘Even if they are for the good of Fashion Lady?’ His eyes were narrowed.

  ‘In your opinion!’ she scorned. ‘Since when did you become an expert on publishing, Mr Dalmont?’

  ‘Since I bought Fashion Lady and made it my business to be!’ he snapped angrily, stopping a passing taxi to open the door for her to get inside, leaning on the open window after closing the door behind her. ‘I’ll be seeing you, Shanna,’ he told her grimly before nodding to the driver to take her back to her office.

  Shanna stared straight ahead as the taxi moved off into the heavy London traffic, knowing Rick Dalmont’s last words had been in the form of a threat. She would indeed be ‘seeing’ him—he would make sure of that.

  It wasn’t until she got back to her office that she realised that, except for her asking about Jane, they hadn’t discussed business at all during lunch. Rick Dalmont was more than distrustful, he was dangerous!

  ‘What a shock!’ Jane came into her office on her return. ‘I had no idea Fashion Lady was for sale.’

  Shanna grimaced. ‘Neither did I until yesterday.’

  Jane’s eyes widened. She was a pretty woman in her early twenties, the same as Shanna, her blonde hair kept short and easily styled, her make-up light and attractive, her clothes always fashionably smart. ‘Henry didn’t tell you?’ She sounded surprised.

  ‘Not until it was too late.’

  ‘Mm—well, Mr Dalmont does have the financial backing Fashion Lady needs.’

  She frowned. ‘You don’t mind that he’s the new boss?’

  Jane shrugged. ‘I know it must be difficult for you, with Henry being your brother, but a boss is a boss as far as I’m concerned. The way things are for unemployment in this country at the moment we’re all lucky to have jobs at all.’

  Jane’s down-to-earth attitude was something she needed at the moment. They were all lucky to have a job, and jobs as editors didn’t come along every day, she doubted she would be lucky enough to find another one, even with references.

  It was something that bothered her as she prepared to go out later that evening. Financially she didn’t need to work, both Perry and her father had left her very well off, but mentally and emotionally…? Heavens, she couldn’t spend her days sitting around the apartment just counting the minutes away! That would only lead to thoughts of Perry, of the last traumatic months of their marriage.

  Damn, she was thinking about it already! She had taken great care to fill all of her time, with work in the day, sometimes until she felt like collapsing, and with a round of parties in the evenings. She rarely gave herself time to think, let alone dwell on the past.

  And tonigh
t would be no exception! So she would be out of a job in three months, she would find something else, she would make sure she did.

  She looked her usual cool and composed self later that evening when she arrived at Steven and Alice Grant’s for dinner. The middle-aged couple were old friends of her father’s, and her own friendship with them had continued even after his death. This evening was a celebration of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, and she knew Alice was pleased with the jade figurine Shanna had given her to add to her already extensive collection.

  She already knew most of the other guests at the Grant house, and made a beeline for her brother as she spotted him across the room, a smiling Janice at his side.

  ‘Going somewhere?’ drawled the familiar gravel and honey voice that she was beginning to feel was haunting her.

  She schooled her features to remain calm, turning slowly to face Rick Dalmont. Goodness, he was dressed to kill tonight! The black velvet jacket fitted smoothly across his powerful shoulders, the white of his shirt making his skin appear swarthier than ever, his black trousers moulded to the lean length of his long legs. His dark eyes were filled with amusement as he met and held her gaze, his black hair brushed back from its side-parting to rest low over his ears and collar. He held a drink in his hand, evidence that he had been here for some time.

  ‘Good evening, Mr Dalmont,’ she greeted softly.

  He moved closer to her. ‘Hello, Shanna.’

  ‘We do seem to—keep meeting.’

  ‘No, we don’t seem to do anything,’ he drawled. ‘But then I’m sure you already knew that.’

  ‘Steven and Alice are friends of yours?’ She ignored the intimacy of his tone.

  He shook his head. ‘I’ve never met them before this evening.’

  She gasped. ‘You gatecrashed their party?’

  His mouth quirked. ‘I came with Henry and Janice.’

  Shanna’s mouth tightened as she shot a resentful glare at her unsuspecting brother. ‘I should have known! Well, if you’ll excuse me—’

  ‘No,’ his hand on her arm stopped her leaving. ‘I’m still trying to be pleasant, as I tried at lunchtime,’ he smiled tightly. ‘But you angered me then, and you’re angering me now,’ he added tautly. ‘What do you think I can possibly do to you here, Shanna?’ He looked pointedly about the crowded room.

  She blushed at the rebuke of his words, and knew she was behaving ridiculously. There were at least forty people in the room; not even Rick Dalmont would try anything here.

  ‘Exactly,’ he correctly read her thoughts. ‘Although most women don’t show such aversion to the thought of my wanting to make love to them.’

  ‘I’m not most women,’ she snapped.

  ‘I agree, you aren’t.’ He took her hand and placed it in the crook of his arm, holding it there with his other hand. ‘Which probably accounts for the way I ache for you,’ he lowered his voice seductively. ‘Put my plain speaking down to my Spanish ancestry,’ he chuckled at her tight-lipped outrage. ‘I want you very badly, Shanna.’

  ‘You told me that the other evening,’ she dismissed abruptly. ‘And what you’re talking about is sex, Mr Dalmont, not making love.’

  ‘The way I would worship your body it would be making love,’ he murmured against her earlobe.

  ‘I—’

  ‘Ah, Shanna, you found Rick,’ Alice Grant, an attractive woman in her late forties, beamed at them both. ‘With the rush of the Sinclairs arriving at the same time as you I completely forgot to tell you Mr Dalmont had already arrived with Henry,’ she told Shanna hurriedly. ‘And how silly of you to think we wouldn’t have room for your—for Rick,’ she corrected awkwardly. ‘We’ve all been so worried about Shanna, Mr Dalmont,’ she confided to the silently watchful man at Shanna’s side. ‘We all miss Perry enormously, but Shanna really is too young and lovely a woman to deny her company to some lucky man.’

  Much as she liked Alice Grant, who was the nearest thing she had to an aunt, Shanna could cheerfully have strangled her at that moment. And this ‘lucky man’ was going to be told a few home truths as soon as they were alone! How dared he have implied to Alice that he was her partner for this evening!

  ‘I do consider myself very lucky, Mrs Grant,’ Rick drawled confidently. ‘And I’ve also been very worried about Shanna. But she has me now, don’t you, sweetheart?’ He looked down at her in mocking challenge.

  Anger lit up her eyes. ‘I—’

  ‘Ah, the Daniels have arrived,’ Alice sighed her relief. ‘Steven’s boss,’ she confided softly. ‘I’ll talk to you both later,’ and she hurried to be at her husband’s side as he greeted the other couple.

  Shanna wrenched away from Rick Dalmont, breathing deeply in her agitation. ‘What did you tell Alice when you arrived?’ she demanded to know.

  He met her gaze with bland innocence. ‘That you were working late and would meet me here as soon as you could get away.’

  ‘You—I—And Henry went along with that?’ she gasped indignantly.

  ‘Why not?’ he shrugged. ‘I told him the same thing when I spoke to him on the telephone and he told me you were all going to a dinner party this evening.’

  ‘You arrogant—My God, I can’t believe this!’ she shook her head. ‘You have the cheek of the devil!’

  He nodded. ‘Some people have even claimed we’re related,’ he said with amusement. ‘But I doubt Alice would understand if you tried to explain the true facts to her. She’s a romantic lady, and she thinks that by seeing me you’re finally getting your life back together after your husband’s death. Don’t ruin her evening, will you?’ he mocked.

  ‘What about mine?’ she bit out.

  ‘Yours is already ruined,’ he shrugged dismissively. ‘Look, I’ll be on my best behaviour, okay?’

  ‘That isn’t good enough! I don’t—’

  ‘Behave yourself!’ Rick rasped as Henry and Janice walked over to join them. ‘Save your insults for when we’re alone and stop behaving like a child! Just think of this as an exercise in employer/employee relations.’

  ‘I don’t want any sort of “relations” with you,’ she snapped.

  He gave her a mocking smile before turning to charm her brother and Janice. The last thing she needed was an example of his lethal charm at work, and she was too angry to notice the curious looks her brother kept shooting her. And she didn’t want to feel angry either, didn’t want to feel anything for this man, not even dislike.

  ‘By the way, Henry,’ Rick gave Shanna a sideways glance, ‘Shanna has already introduced me to some of the staff at Fashion Lady.’

  Henry frowned his puzzlement. ‘She has?’

  ‘Mm,’ Rick nodded. ‘Only casually, of course, on our way out to lunch.’

  Henry looked even more puzzled. And well he might after her vehement avowal of dislike of Rick Dalmont over the weekend. To all intents and purposes she had already lunched with him today, and now she was spending the evening with him too!

  Rick’s arm moved about her waist, pulling her close against his side. ‘And how could I resist your sister when she asked me out so persuasively?’ he added throatily.

  ‘Shanna invited you out to lunch?’ Henry was astounded—and unable to hide it.

  Before Shanna could defend any such misconception dinner was announced, and to her chagrin Alice had put Rick Dalmont next to her at the table. His smile of triumph was enough to make her ignore him throughout the meal, although this only seemed to amuse him. Trying to reject this man was like hitting her head against a brick wall, and she just didn’t know what to do next. How pleased he would be if he even knew he was succeeding that far!

  ‘I like your friends,’ he told her as they circulated after the meal, his hand on her arm refusing to be shaken off as she would have gone alone to speak to Henry and Janice.

  ‘They like you too,’ she muttered, knowing he had been at his most pleasant as they spoke to the people she knew at this dinner party, his hold on her enough claim of possession for
him at the moment. In this lazily charming mood it would be difficult for anyone to dislike him, but she knew the other side of him too well to be fooled for a moment; when thwarted this man was lethal. ‘I think I’d like to leave now,’ she said tightly.

  ‘What a good idea,’ he nodded. ‘Let’s go and make our excuses.’

  ‘You don’t have to leave with me,’ she faced him.

  He quirked one dark brow. ‘Now wouldn’t it look a little odd if you left and I stayed?’

  ‘That didn’t seem to bother you earlier when you arrived without me!’

  ‘Ah, but I had a good excuse for that.’ He looked at her mockingly.

  ‘All right,’ she agreed tightly. ‘We’ll leave together.’

  ‘Could I have a word with Henry before we go?’

  ‘Why not?’ Her voice was taut, her nerves at breaking point. ‘You seem to do everything else you want to!’

  Rick laughed softly. ‘I’m glad you realise it.’

  ‘Almost everything,’ she amended hardly.

  His chuckle deepened. ‘Let’s go and see Henry,’ he prompted lightly.

  Her brother was looking very pleased with himself when they joined his group, and Shanna didn’t need two guesses as to the reason for that; he believed she had decided to accept Rick Dalmont after all. She could have told him she intended leaving Rick Dalmont as soon as they were out of Steven and Alice’s door, and she didn’t intend being caught in this position again. So much for keeping one step ahead!—she had taken half a dozen backwards this evening.

  CHAPTER THREE

  ‘I JUST wanted to remind you that you’re taking me round Fashion Lady tomorrow at ten,’ Rick told Henry a few minutes later; the four of them were now alone.

  This was news to Shanna, and she decided to listen to the rest of their conversation in case there was something else she didn’t know either!

  Henry frowned. ‘But I thought Shanna had already—’

  ‘Your sister just sprang a little surprise introduction for me,’ Rick drawled, enjoying the cold look she gave him. The reason he had mentioned Fashion Lady was now becoming apparent; he hoped to embarrass her in front of Henry. ‘I wasn’t quite prepared for it,’ he continued lazily. ‘But I think I handled it okay.’
